Maybe President Trump will make good on his promise to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
Russia recognizes western Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
Israel National News, April 6, 2017:
Russia reverses decades of policy on Jerusalem, but still refuses to recognize Israeli claim to eastern half of city
[the_ad id=”90673″]
Story continues below advertisementRussia officially announced that it recognizes western Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in an unexpected announcement Thursday.
“We reaffirm our commitment to the UN-approved principles for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement, which include the status of East Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state. At the same time, we must state that in this context we view West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” the Foreign Ministry in Moscow said in a statement.
The statement represents a large shift in Russian policy. Russia had previously called for Jerusalem to be ruled by an international regime. However, the statement also gave recognition to the Palestinian Authority’s claim to the eastern half of the city, in which many of the holiest sites of Judaism are located, such as the Temple Mount.
Many nations refuse to place their embassies in Jerusalem even though Israel has controlled the western half of the city since the War of Independence in 1948. US President Donald Trump has stated that he is considering moving the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, though he has not made a final decision.
Israeli officials refused to comment on the surprise announcement. “We are studying the matter,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nahshon said.
It is unknown whether Jerusalem will welcome the announcement in light of the continued refusal to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over eastern Jerusalem.
Israel will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem this June.

Agreed.
If movements like Brexit and Trump-xit are about independence, sovereignty, and fighting radical Islam… it’s only a natural position to be Pro-Israel!
It wouldn’t make sense to be otherwise.

I should’ve known Russia would take away more than they give. They’ve been in bed w/the f’ing muslums for decades.

Yes I’ve read the muslum Tartars were fully complicit in the pogroms against Jews in Russia.

Tatars ARE muslums.
“In the late 15th century Jews from Poland and Germany began arriving in Ukrainian territories under Lithuanian rule (especially the Kyiv region and Podilia). Kyiv became a famous center of Jewish religious education. This period was also one of suffering for both the indigenous and the Jewish populations because of the Tatar raids. In 1482 many Jews were seized by the Tatars and sold into slavery in the Crimea.”

Russia is the reason we have a so called “palestinian” people, meant to divide the west and give Russia an enemy from within Israel.

Perhaps due to the soviet-aligned arab states back in the days of cold war backing the palestinian movements?

They created the ‘palestinian’ people, before Russia they were called Arabs, and they numbered under 18.000

A partial recognition, at best, is no recognition. Putin better abandon Two State also. He is still on the wrong side.
The Knesset, Israeli courts and even PM Netanyahu may be foot-dragging regarding a move of the US embassy to Jerusalem.

That’s a good start which puts the screws into the cavity of the palestinian muslim zombies in that area. .

Prophecy Against Edom (Phillistines):
Ezekiel 35:10-15King James Version (KJV)
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
